A deep dive into the build quality, optical performance, and why you should pick up the Revic Acura BLR10b rangefinding binocular
The Revic Acura BLR10b 10x42 Ballistic Rangefinding Binocular is a very functional, intuitive, and capable rangefinding binocular that offers top-notch performance for spotting game and long-range shooting. With the advanced technology and innovative features, these binoculars change the game for serious shooters who demand the best in accuracy and reliability. My review covers the design and build quality, optical performance, field performance, and many of the features of the binocular, as well as my final thoughts.
The Revic Acura BLR10b is a well-constructed rangefinding binocular with a sleek and modern design. It is smaller than most of its competitors, making it easier to pack in a binocular pouch for hunting or in a backpack pocket or lid for competition shooting. The magnesium alloy chassis enhances durability and ensures lightweight portability — ideal for the rigors of hunting and outdoor adventures.
The rubber-armored exterior provides a secure grip while offering protection against impacts and harsh environmental conditions. Additionally, the nitrogen-filled housing renders the binoculars fog-proof and waterproof, safeguarding optical integrity in diverse climates. The button placement is easy to reach with your fingers and is located in the ideal locations to get to them quickly.
At the heart of the Revic Acura BLR10b binoculars lies a cutting-edge optical system engineered to deliver unparalleled clarity and precision. Equipped with premium ED glass lenses, these binoculars mitigate chromatic aberration, ensuring true-to-life color reproduction and enhanced contrast. The fully multi-coated lens surfaces optimize light transmission, culminating in vivid, razor-sharp images across the entire field of view. The BLR10B is a 10x42, which provides ample light to the super clear glass. This means you will get great brightness and clarity while identifying game or targets at close range or long distances. I found these to be very bright and clear. The focus ring moves with ease but stays put when you need it to and is forgiving when identifying the “sweet spot.” The edge-to-edge clarity is nice. It falls off just a bit on the far edges but doesn't impact glassing performance at all. I only noticed this when I was really trying to look for it.
Revic has integrated a lot of innovative features into the Acura BLR10b binoculars, augmenting user convenience and functionality. One of my favorite features is the ballistic solver connection that allows me to connect my phone to the binoculars. I can build a ballistic solution in the Revic application on my phone and upload it to the binoculars so I have the most up-to-date solution available at the time of the shot. The binocular provides a range to the target and a “shoot to range,” which shows you the correction for changes in elevation. It also shows the correction that needs to be adjusted for in MOA or MIL, depending on the user's preference. The binocular is equipped with advanced wind correction, which allows the user to store a base wind value for quick wind correction or input a vector wind to get the most complete calculation possible. The onboard sensors monitor temperature, pressure, azimuth, and shooting angle. Simple touch buttons are incorporated into the unit, and they are equipped with quick key features to allow the user to adjust the main features quickly. The quick keys can be used to adjust features such as brightness, wind information, target information, and last-shot data. The menus are simple to use, and Revic provides excellent tutorials for the Acura BLR10b online.
Since I started using the Revic Acura BLR10b Binoculars, they consistently deliver exceptional performance across various scenarios. Whether I’m scanning a mountainside looking for a Coues deer or setting up on the next stage of an NRL Hunter match, these binoculars excel in providing crystal clear images with minimal distortion or vignetting. The wide field of view makes target acquisition easy. Additionally, the quick response time for the return range value is exceptional. I estimate that it takes less than one second to receive a value when ranging from 30 yards to 2,000 yards and beyond.
I was skeptical about introducing a rangefinding binocular into my gear list this year, but I am extremely pleased with the performance and utility of having three capabilities (binoculars, rangefinder, and ballistic calculator) integrated into one. The Revic Acura BLR10b binocular is a new piece of integral gear that I will always have with me. There were features I was looking for when I was contemplating rangefinding binoculars, and the BLR10b hit everyone, exceeding the standard I was trying to get. For example, I wanted something that could provide a quick-range return of 2,500 yards. The BLR10b doubles that range with an ultra-fast result.
I also wanted an integrated ballistic calculator. The BLR10b not only provides the actual distance to the target and a shoot to distance, but also the MOA/MIL correction so I can make the appropriate adjustments to a scope turret with all of the information displayed in the binoculars.
I wanted to keep the size of the binoculars small so I wasn’t carrying around a huge binocular harness with added weight. The BLR10b fits in a small Marsupial Gear bino harness and weighs in at 31.7 ounces, which is only a couple of ounces more than top-tier binoculars without the rangefinding capability. I would recommend the Revic Acura BLR10b binoculars to someone who is looking for next-level performance from rangefinding binoculars. I would easily put these binoculars in with the best of the best. The ballistic calculator and optical performance are superb. This is my new favorite tool for hunting and competitions.
I’ve seen and read in other reviews these binoculars are not to be used with magnetic binocular harnesses because the magnet could affect the internal compass. That didn’t seem right to me, so I called Revic directly to discuss it. Revic assured me these binoculars could be used with a magnetic binocular harness, and they had done extensive testing to validate their findings. I use a magnetic Marsupial Gear binocular harness and have had zero issues.
